looking good nick! your fab skills are definitely second to none.

Once you get everything done, you should consider moding your old hood with some well placed venting.

I could see you making something tasteful and functional to pull some fiberglass parts from...crosses fingers. I've done quite a bit of glassing over the past year or two that i could help out. I've learned the hard way on alot, so at least i could tell you what NOT to do anyways,LOL.

food for thought for the summer.

Looking good. Nice project you have there. Waiting to see it painted is starting to feel like waiting for Christmas morning.

IMO, I would wire the halos in with some fogs or at the very least the markers.

UPDATE!!!!

Installed the VW Golf projector headlights

Made 3 mounting points

Car is going to the a friends this week to be started on for paint so I worked on striping it down some more.

Engine is now out again as well as almost everything else in the engine bay.

Car was also dropped of this morning to have bodywork began and prepping for paint.

Figuring around a month before I get it back but I will be there helping and posting updates everyweek. Some of you may already know what color the car will be painted but for the rest of you i'm going to keep it a secret until its done.

Almost all the rust is taken care of and fenders are loosely bolted on since adjustment is needed yet. It helps having donor cars to get the panels you need lol. My doors actually work properly and don't drop down once opened from junk hinges.

At this rate the car should be in primer or ready to be primered by next weekend.

Not so sure about that. The Resto-mod movement is pretty much doing what you are here, just to american muscle. Some of the close-minded simpltons won't get it. I have had muscle cars and been accepted while driving them, then the same people would criticize when I pull up in my Maxima. They are the same ones that BOUGHT their cars. I always give them the old "anyone can write a check" statement and they shut up. Builders appreciate the work, they can see past brands.
